Questions people ask
How do I print these would you rather cards?
Use your browser's print option on this page. It prints as a grid of cards with cut lines, without the menus. Cardstock holds up best, but plain paper works. Cut along the lines, and keep each set in its own envelope so you can pick the mood before you play.
Are these printable would you rather questions free?
Yes. There's no download, sign-up or email needed. Print as many copies as you like for your own use, for a date night, a party game or a gift. If you'd rather not print, the same dilemmas work straight from your phone: read one out, both pick, then read the talk prompt.
How do you play would you rather with printed cards?
Shuffle a set and stack it face down. Take turns drawing a card and reading both options out loud. You both pick, then the reader asks the talk prompt. Put cards you answered the same way in one pile and the ones you disagreed on in another. That second pile is the one worth talking about at the end.
